Disclose

Disclose was a Japanese hardcore punk band heavily influenced by British punk band Discharge. They existed from 1992-2007. Disclose uses the infamous D-beat drumming style and are—sonically and lyrically—considerably one of the closest and most extreme adherents of the style. Their sound is very similar to that of Discharge, with an increased use of fuzz and distortion guitar effects. The subject matter is also similar to Discharge - the songs are primarily about nuclear war, and its horrific consequences. Members and former members include: Kawakami (vocals & lead guitar), Tsukasa (vocals), Fukugawa (bass guitar), Yasuoka (bass guitar), Yousei (bass guitar), Hiro (drums), Fujiwara (drums), Uo-Katou (drums), Aki (drums) & Naoto. Tragically, on June 5, 2007, Kawakami died in his apartment from an overdose of alcohol and sleep tablets, thus sadly spelling the end of Disclose.
